The best markets to bet on for the UFC Ronda Rousey fight

Ronda ‘rowdy’ Rousey defends her bantamweight title against the undefeated Brazilian Bethe ‘the pitbull’ Corriea in what is, without question, the most anticipated women’s UFC bout in the sport’s history.

Both fighters have been outspoken in their distaste for one another, adding extra incentive for both women to maintain their unblemished records in the octagon.

The shots fired in the weeks and months leading up to the Sunday, August 1 showdown in Rio de Janeiro have been unprecedented, which is saying something considering the UFC is a sport that actively encourages trash talking!

The fight, which was confirmed in March of this year, takes place in Correia’s home country of Brazil and has the potential to be one of the biggest UFC title matches of the year.

The road to UFC 190:

The ubiquitous Rousey has appeared in movies, on TV shows, WWE events and graced magazine covers in the lead up to the big fight in Rio.

The casual MMA watcher could be forgiven for mistaking Rousey’s self-promotion as nonchalance, but her last two fights suggest she could not be in better form going into UFC 190.

April 11 2014, Rousey defended her title against Canadian Alexis Davis, winning the fight via knockout just 16 seconds into the bout.

Rousey’s last fight, February 28th 2015 at UFC 182 saw the lady they call ‘the arm collector’ decimate her opponent in a brutal fashion, forcing American Cat Zingano submit after just 14 seconds.

The win handed the champion her 11th straight win and the record for fastest win in UFC championship history.

Bethe Correia, who does not hold worldwide appeal that the hugely popular Rousey possesses, has been relatively unsighted other than the mandatory UFC media commitments.

The woman they call ‘the pitbull’ has overcome several big tests in her UFC career, specifically in her last two bouts.
